  • If you're an anarchist, why are you advising communists to rebrand? Why do you care about communism at all?

    For that matter, couldn't the same criticism be leveled at the word "anarchism"? Most people associate that word with chaos and violence.

  • Well, that's the funny thing. If a nation does it, it isn't considered "terrorism". If you open that door, then the US gets implicated, too, because they've also been involved in terrorist activities. So, it serves US interests to keep the definition narrowly defined to non-state actors.

  • The implication in the question is, of course, that capitalism never killed anyone

    LOL. That isn't what I was implying at all. I'm just saying that if you're going to trot out "Communism killed X number of people", then you should hold capitalism to the same standard. I've seen estimates that capitalism has killed orders of magnitude more people than communism.

  • WebPs load faster because the file sizes are smaller (at equivalent image quality). There are other benefits, too, but I think that's the main one.

    I don't know how it compares to JPEG XL.

  • The USSR famously took ownership of Tetris away from its creator.

    He developed the game on company time. If he'd lived in a capitalist country, the government wouldn't have taken control of Tetris, but the company would have. Every software company contract I've ever heard of has a clause that says the company owns any code you produce while working there.
